How much aspirin for 5 lb chihuahua?
Be very careful with aspirin - it can be toxic to dogs. Never give it to a cat.It can be toxic if given in high doses of about 30 mg (milligram) per pound of the dog. This means that even a baby aspirin could be poisonous for dogs weighing two pounds or less. An adult aspirin, which is 320 mg, would be toxic for a 10-pound dog. So even 1/2 an aspirin to too much for a 5-lb dog. and they'll live without it - don't do it.
How many tablets would you give a patient for a written order for 300 mg aspirin and you have 5 gr aspirin on hand?

Can you give your pit bull aspirin to reduce a fever?
no!!go to your vet, they will have a solution!!**Correction/Improvement**It is difficult to know whether a dog has a fever or not. A dry nose does not indicate fever. The most accurate indicator of a fever in a dog is the old fashioned thermometer up the rear.However, one dose of aspirin will not harm your dog and may make it more comfortable while waiting for your vet appt.A typical aspirin dose is 5 to 10 mg per pound (10 to 20 mg/kg) twice daily for dogs. Always give with food.

Is 1 chewable baby aspirin okay for a 110 pound weimeramer ok for a sore leg?
A typical aspirin dose is 5 to 10 mg per pound (10 to 20 mg/kg) twice daily for dogs, and 5 mg per pound (10 mg/kg) once every other day for cats. A baby aspirin is usually 81mg. That would be too low. Starting at the low end, a dose of 550 would be safe. If that doesn't seem to work, try 7.5 mg per lb. Always give with food and do NOT use the enteric coated aspirin. The coating is undigestible by dogs. Good luck. (If the leg doesn't get better, see a vet.)
Why 325mg can be written as 5 gr?
Since 1959, the official 'grain' (gr) of mass has been defined as 64.79891 milligrams (mg) of mass. If you have 5 grains (gr) of mass then, you have 323.99455 milligrams (mg) of mass. Aspirin is manufactured with 5 gr of acetylsalicylic acid in each tablet. Although that's actually no more than 323.99455 mg of aspirin, the label claims that the pills contain a full 325 mg each, and you pay for 1.00545 milligram more than you get. Over a full lifetime, this could add up.
Your dog is on prednisone 5 mg you are on the same 5mg would they be the same?

How many baby aspiring instead of regular aspirin?
How much you give of either buffered adult aspirin or baby aspirins depends on the weight of your dog: A dog that weighs 8 lbs, would get 1/2 baby aspirin or less. A dog weighing 16 lbs, would get 1 baby aspirin. A dog weighing 32 lbs, would get 1/2 buffered adult aspirin or 2 baby aspirins. A dog weighing 48 lbs, would get 3/4 buffered adult aspirin or 3 baby aspirins. A dog weighing 64 lbs, would get 1 buffered adult aspirin or 4 baby aspirins. A dog weighing 80 lbs, would get 1 1/4 buffered adult aspirin or 5 baby aspirins. A dog weighing 96 lbs, would get 1 1/2 buffered adult aspirin or 6 baby aspirins. Aspirin can cause gastrointestinal upsets and ulcers in dogs, just as in humans. You should pay attention to your dog's eating habits when you have been giving it aspirin to watch for signs of an upset stomach (such as not wanting to eat, or vomiting) and stop giving the aspirin. To minimize stomach problems, always give food with the aspirin.
Dose of baby aspirin for dog 50 pounds?
A fifty pound dog should be okay with one regular asprin. those are 325 mg. one in the morning and one at night. With food. If he won't eat then get the coated ones because it's easier on the stomach. I got this from a vet website http://www.vetinfo.com/daspirin.html Aspirin has the same problems in dogs that it has in people. It can cause gastrointestinal upsets and ulcers if the GI signs are ignored. It can cause renal failure if overdosed. It causes an increase in clotting time. This usually isn't a serious side effect but it does occur. Despite these shortcomings it has a lot of beneficial effects and it is inexpensive. The currently recommended dosage of aspirin varies a little from publication to publication but it is between 5 and 15mg/lb every 12 hours. Since there is a range I usually pick the middle of it and go for about 10mg/lb every 12 hours. This works well and seems to be pretty safe. That works out to an aspirin tablet per 32 pounds of body weight twice a day. I have to admit that I rarely advise giving more than 2 aspirin twice a day despite the fact that some big dogs could obviously take more based on the per pound calculation.
